[QUOTE="DDD, post: 294513, member: 35"] When difficult child was in pre-K a family moved into the neighborhood with a son in grade. Something similar happened. The boy's Mom adamantly denied that her son would every have done anything sexual etc. Coincidentally I discovered the problem just two days before that family moved to the other side of town. Anyway, GFGmom was aghast and insisted that difficult child "feel free to talk about it all he wanted to" etc. I finally found a Pediatric specialist in Tampa and following her interview with difficult child she said he was not traumatized, most kids have some type of experience, keep the boys apart, reiterate the good touch-bad touch, keep your ears open but your mouth shut. So...I, too, think you should make an appointment if you can where you likely will hear that same advise. DDD PS: I may not be correct but in raising the children when something "odd" happened (not just sexual but stealing etc.) most of the time my kid or the other kid would ask "but WHY can't Billy spend the night etc." and I would say calmly as if I were discussing the weather "In our family we do not accept stealing (or bad touching) etc." My philosophy is/was that I would not give the impression of keeping secrets by not answering. The unacceptable behavior was named. I think that kept some kids away from the house that I did not want at the house and also told my children that we don't keep secrets etc. [/QUOTE]
